Saettia Mk4 patrol boats

مشاركة بواسطة hayder » الخميس أكتوبر 21, 2010 9:53 pm

As a replacement for the old Corvette/Frigate order from Fincantierri in Italy, the Iraqi navy ordered 4x modified Saettia Mk4 Large Patrol boats for the Iraqi Navy.

These have all been delivered to Iraq as of 2009.

The vessels are to be built by Fincantieri at Riva Trigoso, with modifications including increased crew capacity of 38. The contract also comprises the provision of logistical support and crew training with each crew completing a 7 week training course. In cooperation with the Marina Militare (Italian Navy), each commissioning crew is provided with a week’s bridge simulator course at the Academy in Livorno.[3]
In May 2009, the first vessel, Patrol Ship 701 named Fatah (Arabic for Victory), was handed over at the Muggiano, La Spezia shipyard. The crew hand been training since January 2009, and would now be heading for Umm Qasr, a 20 day/5,000 nautical miles journey via the Mediterranean, Suez Canal and Red Sea.[4] There, additional training will be completed, before the vessel takes over duties from the British Royal Marine patrols, who will then revert to a training role of new crew.[4]

Displacement: 393 tons (standard)

Very lightly armed, it is a patrol boat anyway...
Ethics, Faith, Courage.

the Iraqi version is slightly better armed (but very slightly).


The 450t Diciotti has a speed of 20kt and does not require refuelling up to 3,000nm. The ship is fitted with one emergency generator along with two Fincantieri FCP propellers. It has one 10m-long interceptor, a rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB), one 5m service boat and one bow thruster. It takes up maritime patrol operations up to sea state 5 and has withstanding capabilities up to sea state 7.

The Maltese Navy replaced its Kondor Class offshore patrol vessel with Diciotti in 2005. The vessel, named P61, was modified to be capable of refuelling light and medium helicopters.

It also provides the helicopters with a daytime landing facility. P61 project was a €17m project funded by the fifth Italo-Maltese Financial Protocol.

Features

The Saettia MK4 is the fourth variant of a missile attack boat that was originally built as a demonstrator and turned into an offshore patrol vessel for the Italian coastguard.

The Saettias are an improved version of the Diciotti as they have a longer length and greater power. Iraq's version is 53.4m and has a breadth of 8.1m. Two shafts are used, instead of the original four, and the hull lines have been reformed to result in a reduced operating speed.

The vessels have two navigation-and-search radars lightly armed with two machine guns and an Oto Melara 30mm gun. In addition, they feature a Marlin WS (Modular Advanced Remotely-Controlled Lightweight Weapon Station) mount, with an optronic fire-control system.

Propulsion

Fincantieri has also supplied the systems and components for propulsion of each of the vessels. Key elements of this include the Isotta Fraschini V1716T2MSD engines with power of 2,360kW. The company has also supplied the shaft lines and variable pitch propellers.

Electric power generation is supplied by three Isotta Fraschini L1306T3ME generators with power of 220kW and Fincantieri-supplied stabilisers.

Orders

Fincantieri signed the contract, worth over €80m, to build the four modified patrol vessels for the Iraqi navy in September 2006. Modifications included increasing the crew size to 78. Along with the vessels, Fincantieri will provide logistical support and training to the crew.

"The remaining three vessels are scheduled to be delivered at intervals of three months by January 2010 with crew members being trained in Italy."
On 15 May 2009, Fincantieri delivered the first Saettia vessel from its Muggiano (La Spezia) shipyard and the Iraqi Navy took delivery of the vessel, the Fateh, in June 2009.

The Fateh, meaning 'victory' in Arabic, has taken up surveillance of the Iraqi exclusive economic zone, research and salvage operations, and maritime traffic controls.

The vessel sailed from La Spezia to Umm Qasr in Iraq and has so far covered a distance of over 5,000 nautical miles. The ship was escorted by Italian, American and British warships during its journey. The remaining three vessels are scheduled to be delivered at intervals of three months by January 2010 with crew members being trained in Italy.
